Birthday Card Fun

This time of year is always busy, yet fun in our home.

We have several daughters and a son, and three of my daughters' birthdays are within about 2 weeks of each other. My twins' birthday is March 26, and then their younger sister's birthday is April 12th. 

So since there are some celebratory events coming soon, I thought now, would be the perfect time to make their birthday cards.

 I try to hand make my girls' cards each year, then after the birthday fun is over, I mount them in their scrapbooks, as a focal point on the page, to help create the memory along with a few pictures of the day. 

Here is the "Pink Card" that I made for one of the twins.



The main image is "Kidz Birthday Balloons" by Bugaboo Stamps. 


For the "Pink Card", I used Pixie and Canary cardstock for several of the layers and "Gimmie Some Sugar" patterned paper also by Close to my Heart.

The sentiment is from Sweet Birthday stamp set by Close to my Heart and is stamped in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink.



I also entered the "Pink Card" into a few challenges:
